My pleasure - it's a bit of an obvious gift, but I didn't think you had seen it before and it's an essential guide to the British which hasn't dated at all! (Well, maybe a little bit, but not as much as people might initially think.) Given your recent arrival on the shores of my motherland, I figured it was well-timed advice. Now, be careful of the beer that makes your tongue wag at both ends!

The upside-down printing is completely accidental, but I think that's a rather nice unique feature! I've not seen that before in other copies

The elves tell me a reindeer has been dispatched south with your present. I pointed out that the whole world is south and asked if it was headed the right direction. The blank looks were not very reassuring. I'm hoping for the best.

Love Santa.

Quick reminder: TODAY is the deadline for sending gifts. If you haven't sent yours, hurry up!

If you're going to be late, let your victim know NOW. If you're not going to be able to get your victim a gift, let me know NOW. I've had people in the past wait until the week of Christmas to tell me that they weren't going to be able to participate. This is unacceptable behaviour and will get you put in the naughty spot. Don't think I won't show up at your house and do it; I have all of your addresses.

I need a stern smiley for this. Hmm. That'll do.

If you decide to flake out without notifying anyone, then you shall face the Candish wrath! And I have two elves helping me this year, so it'll be extra wrath-y!

I love you in a way that is mystical and eternal and illegal in 20 states.

The elves got a little confused and put your gift aside with some Easter Eggs I was keeping for the Easter Bunny. Apparently they were trying to hatch it! They have had a great finger wiggling and telling off, and your gift should make it into the post sometime Tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday at the latest. Either way your gift should be arriving fairly shortly.

I can only assume that this amazing shirt is from you.I am quite pleased with it, though at the moment some bled through sticky paint stuff prevents me from trotting about in it. That will be soon remedied by a wash.Not included with the package was any indication of who you might be. I have, of course, narrowed it down somewhat but remain baffled as you've remained quite tight lipped I've been left with only heresay and elimination. Well played.

I'mma upload to FB the exciting package I received from My alter SS and linky here in a mo!

Crazy SS hat pick giving me and Oni eacother.

A society that takes itself too seriously risks bottling up its tensions and treating every example of irreverence as a threat to its existence. Humour is one of the great solvents of democracy. It permits the ambiguities and contradictions of public life to be articulated in non-violent forms. It promotes diversity. It enables a multitude of discontents to be expressed in a myriad of spontaneous ways. It is an elixir of constitutional health. J.

I am now the proud owner of a paint-it-yourself fish, glowstick bracelets, a spiffing set of moustaches, and a slightly scary picture of Santa which makes me suspect he has an axe somewhere nearby (or perhaps he's just really really happy... But I'm going with the axe theory). Thank you secret Santa... Though I don't actually have a clue who you are!

Oh, and I am clearly a bad person because I ignored the 'don't open until Christmas' sign on the packet. Oops

"really happy to be eating your flesh" is more what I was going for, but glad you like And yes, opening gifts before xmas makes baby jesus cry.

Yay! I'm glad you like them There might be a *very* belated card coming. Oops.

And thank you Secret Santa for my two pairs of socks! I'll get a picture when I'm feeling less lazy but I traveled all day today. One is flying pigs and the other has whales I also have no clue who you are!
